¹² While I was with you, I kept on showing you the actions of a true apostle. These actions include signs, wonders and miracles. ¹³ How were you less important than the other churches? The only difference was that I didn’t cause you any expense. Forgive me for that wrong!

¹⁴ Now I am ready to visit you for the third time. I won’t cause you any expense. I don’t want what you have. What I really want is you. After all, children shouldn’t have to save up for their parents. Parents should save up for their children.
